C Correct answer
Explanation

Correct. In the given sentence, the word ‘insatiable’ begins with a vowel sound (i sound) and so, ‘an’ should be placed before the word. As a general rule, the article is omitted before abstract nouns used in a general sense. In the given sentence, the word ‘knowledge’ is an abstract noun used in a general sense. So, no article is required. Thus, the correct answer is – ‘Rahul has an insatiable urge for knowledge’.
